[@psyjinx]

Wait, insane casting. Wasn't even watching and knew the whole story of this dude's game. More please.

[@jayrr89]

Bro, you’re a natural at this. This is probably the best TFT content when it comes to analysis. Your VOD reviews are top notch!

[@GordonLee97]

I wish Frodan would commentate every game I watch. It just elevates the experience immensely.

[@AbdElWadoudIkhlef]

another banger from Frodan! this game was insane, I would never pick the same lane as this player! he killed it

[@dumbinternetbird]

You've got my sub! Great job breaking down thought processes and presenting information in a very clear, concise way. Thank you!

[@zerglin]

Insane quality and analysis, definitely looking forward for more of these!

[@binomis3468]

The power of a hearthstone casting legend is unparalleled.

[@mein_tgl]

I admire your casting and the editing in this vid; the series is so good so far, love the video

[@komang1224]

Really good editing and commentary. Keep up the good work 👏

[@stevenchung7374]

OMG. I (Lonzo Ball of TFT) was walking down the street with my pet dolphin when suddenly he spoke english “What is that show on Disney we watched back in October with all the mice” I replied, “Shamu, that was just the Fraudulent bubble Mecha Cup finals.” I cried for days. Win a real ring SpethoMickey.

[@Pibbb]

Frodan the absolute goat dating back to the Hearthstone days. No surprise these videos are insane quality commentary and analysis.

[@maxmanolescu2401]

This was so entertaining to watch! Definitely post more of these, it didnt even feel like 30 minutes passed.

[@GK-zu3du]

I think this is my favorite tft video series. Breaks down how to turn a 6th into 3rd or any other lp lose into a gain. Most tft content is interesting but having someone actually breakdown the decision making has helped my gameplay a lot. Gold - diamond this season.

[@Unstable23]

This was fantastic. Well explained. I can't wait to play with the knowledge I gained. Thank you.

[@ichmagapfel7355]

I was wondering why you only have 7000 subs, after I looked at your videos I see you only have 4 videos but goddamn they’re really really good so please keep posting I enjoy this type of content really much

[@jamesl.456]

LOVE the avg placement under the augments!!!!

[@derek4111993]

This content is amazing, great analysis!

[@NothingLikeAGoodWork]

Amzing casting, amazing editing, great content. 10/10 content man

[@mycathasbeenstolen]

Great video. Super interesting and entertaining casting with handy analysis. Enjoyed !!

[@alexdroptin7940]

Have you considered doing an analysis like this with Mort? I'd be curious to hear both your thoughts for like... championship games. These videos are incredibly cool to watch.

[@Habbangz]

This is really good. The editing adds a lot of info very cleanly

[@ChelseaValentine]

More please!! So informative and entertaining at the same time.

[@Cellus5000]

19:25 look at the garen ult, I think thats what he was going for?

[@HellHades]

great run down of this match!

[@kschacherer92]

Best tft content out there. Loved the vid, you need to upload more!

[@zerdodylan]

editing is great as always!

[@ulyssessanchez7990]

Great commentary, would love to see more of this

[@Lesterberne]

I didnt know that locket scales with your star level, just assumed they changed it along deathblade Ive been playing for far too long to not know this 😂

[@NSFWTHICC]

Reading is the most under utilized ability in tft, no cap!

[@YoshiplayerX]

So hyped for more games with commentary also learned a lot this video

[@lionheartz1337]

Need more of this frodan this content is a guaranteed forst

[@BraveRaccoon]

watched this video while doing same with kayle augment play. Easiest 1st place this season

[@tylerjacoby7985]

In too deep has taught me a lot about tft. Thank you for this amazing in depth analysis.

[@acrethedog]

Common Frodan W

[@BP-xv7fj]

12:29 where did that one Kayle on bench come from? Unless he edited one roll out

[@luker1406]

it's from the orb from the Kayle hero augment. he left it on his board until he could 3 star kayle; this keeps one more kayle in the unit pool to roll into, giving him slightly better odds to hit kayle in his shops than if he had picked up the kayle orb immediately

[@BP-xv7fj]

@@luker1406 bro, I know that. Watch closely lmao. It’s not the orb.

[@poil379379]

@@BP-xv7fj yeah, it’s edited. He only “gained” 6 gold from 30 gold + 4 loss, which obviously isn’t right

[@FrodanTV]

Are you asking about how he got 3* Kayle? He had 2 duplicators + the Kayle in the orb. With 6 Kayles already, that's how he got the final 3. Spethom rolled to 10g just in case he could save 1 duplicator for another unit, but missed so he had to use all his dupes.

[@Tao_75]

Yep, if you check frame by frame you can see the little legend with the reroll glow, so he got 1 Kayle and then rolled into the shop we see with two more Kayles for the second Kayle 2 so we are missing like 3 seconds or so of footage

[@calvinchan3446]

Great casting Frodan!

[@trenchtierstudios554]

Actually have had so much success with Anima Squad. My three main gear troops are usually Jinx, MF, and Sylas. Sylas I build health tank with Warmogs, Dragons Claw, and one of the armor build items. Due to his ability being based on health; he can really become a beast come mid and late game without an answer.

[@FrodanTV]

Anima squad can be very strong if you have the spot for it. I view it similarly to underground, but inverse -> get online ASAP and win as much as you can!

[@Johnskim37]

i dont even really play tft competitively but love watching these videos

[@rollcaskett1812]

Appreciate the commentary but I definitely wasn't expecting a fairly standard Duelist comp when I clicked on this video. :P This is probably one of my most played comps this set.

[@FrodanTV]

Focusing on the end result isn't the purpose of the series. It's to analyze the steps taken to get there. The journey is more important than the destination!

[@vicaf1617]

man your casting is so good. I dont even have to actively watch the game hahaha

[@FrodanTV]

Thats a huge compliment! Thank you vicaf :)

[@MrRoeckLEE]

impressive i never bothered looking at this kayle augment but now will consider it

[@dustinlee8738]

Honestly I dont even play tft anymore but these vids are amazingly fun to watch. Keep it up.

[@KaytoShields]

Lovely Commentary but i can not stress this enough. Kayle with Divine Ascent basically makes her into a 3 cost. It is probably the best Hero Augment for one costs to be honest as it gives Kayle so much power. It is basically a free rapid fire with 1 additional range and then a free runaans its basically two items put on her.

[@yppdabigo7968]

i really enjoy your TFT content, i think you'll get alot more subs, keep at it

[@Mr4420937]

the algorithm did me good! keep up the content!

[@hermannpauwells7947]

Nice video editing, really enjoyed

[@2thezaza]

Amazing casting

[@mushmak]

On 2-1, I wonder if he was hoping for ashe carry That augment is so strong. Specially with ashe pair and laser on bench

[@FrodanTV]

Yeah I believe he was hoping for Ashe but missed. 2-1 Hero Augments do that to ya pretty often unfortunately

[@juansantos8084]

Meanwhile the guy was just vibin on the cam lol

[@ferenc1512]

We need more of these videos!

[@olteanemanuel2767]

keep this up dude. this is top tier tft content

[@TheRHITLegend]

That was nuts. Love to see off meta!

[@2GeeDS]

New sub from me! Keep it up man, cool casting style with the graphic stuff too.

[@alexanderromero9701]

Navigating the fray full of land mines😂My brain would be fried trying to macro in this lobby

Hey btw, ur hair is sick asf I love it man

Thanks :)

Enjoyed this video like the rest, nice content brother

This channel is so good man

[@yoloswagger4936]

keep em coming

[@TomPoker]

Very good casting man !

[@Torjus_]

Tried it, got contested by 2 other people but still placed second. Very strong comp.

[@hyongenfer]

Good video edit. :D

[@FAISAL5855]

Love your content keep going

[@danieldykstra4100]

my fav streamer and caster keep it up!

[@jijo551]

This player looks so chill and fun to watch

[@Starstrike21]

fantastic video

[@t8onbass]

10/10 commentary

[@TankCowIvan]

great content! my only suggestion would be: could you please upload more videos? they are just too good!!

[@LiveAsDiva]

Wait a minute??? Divine Ascent is not meta??? I ALWAYS picked it coz i love tier 1 3-star unit. And Kayle is one of the best

[@Oleoay]

Regarding the 2 3* Vaynes, if a player gets knocked out, do their units return to the pool like they do in hearthstone battlegrounds?

[@bbcaptain3858]

I love tft its my favorite game. THIS IS PHENOMENAL

[@antonioramnal9800]

Rage blade second item mightve won the game and eternal winter would've been pretty good against that urgot dropping his attack speed a bit so he ults later, also 2nd orn item should've been collector unto the fiddle alongside a gauntlet or gunblade all in all he definitely pulled that win out his ass nobody else could've played that better

[@FrodanTV]

Yeah I agree the Ornn items could have been more optimal. It was a very difficult spot given his start but he navigated it well. Now it's way more common to see Kayle thanks to performances like this!

[@ukno918]

if only vayne didn't get hooked

[@railgun1258]

Skipped to the end, but is that not just vertical duelists, a very popular meta comp? Or is the off meta part a kayle carry

[@FoamyADC]

I know this is your commentating video and I don’t mind the commentating but I would like to watch just the gameplay I’m kind of hoping you can link the game as well in the description

[@AFancyDress]

What a great video

nice content bro, 1 more sub for you

[@miniroseyo]

Riot needs to stop having crazy luck in tournament games

[@marikafukuroi86]

Thats a really good video but he still had a kayle carry augment

[@SkysLimitDoesMC]

infinity force for the tf instead of the randuins wouldve been huge no?

[@FrodanTV]

Yeah I think Spethom recognized that Randuin's was not a very strong pick, but he still made it work anyways!

[@johndelaney4617]

great vid

[@ksiliana]

The only reason this did well was because of the new duelist's passive.

[@superbot2939]

awesome video

[@yeet6292]

i love your videos bro keep it up

[@luc4041]

Love these videos

[@rickyklonoa991]

thats insane

[@RINGALOCHA]

I was searching for sum41 - into deep 😢

[@minari4787]

Anyone know If there is a addon/App which shows the winrates of augements live in Game :)? Like in this gameplay

[@nathanmoran3648]

Your hair is sick.

[@Lollypoin]

It's like a day9 daily in the best way :)

[@christianacosta4013]

Hvaent played much this set. But was there a reason he was holding that kayle orb from the begonning ?

[@FrodanTV]

Keeping the champion in the orb doesn't pull it from the pool and take up bench space. It's a small way to min/max when looking for a specific champion.

[@majorfunky6586]

I feel like this strat will only really work in super high tier lobbies as everyone is contesting and sabotaging good builds allowing for him to build th best uncontested build that can compete w these semi-full builds. In lower elo stronger/more broken builds can be made.

[@Mecrobb]

ty love these vids

[@thomas-elenifasianou9211]

he spawned a kayle from nowhere look after 3-5 carousel

Wow havent seen you since HS casting

[@pontaz]

Heyy, Devil Summoner 2

[@emanndaman8315]

You’re good at explaining what happens but can’t read what his upcoming moves were gonna be lol. Good content tho

[@FrodanTV]

That's fair! Being able to "read" moves ahead of time is not important. If I wanted to, I could just watch ahead and know what he does ahead of time then use that to color analysis. Its important to recognize what is happening in real-time for a game like TFT. Also, it's worth noting Spethom is an off-meta player exploring a line that isn't well-known so its hard to read what he wants to do. He also ended up making several mistakes that he regretted as well.

[@emanndaman8315]

@@FrodanTV for real. reactions are cool lol, reminds me of watching chess tournament commentators

[@cuddledog142]

Why are people not picking up their orb from their first augment? Sorry I’m a noob

[@FrodanTV]

Grabbing the orb means it pulls the champion out of the pool, therefore lowering the chance you'll them appear in a shop. Also, it takes up bench space which can make holding units quite crowded if you're rerolling multiple units!

[@cuddledog142]

@@FrodanTV Thank you
